““Megan was fantastic! She was very polite, knowledgeable about dogs, and really listened to all my needs and concerns. We truly appreciated her punctuality—it made my surgery week a bit easier and less stressful.””


About: I’ve lived with and cared for dog my whole life, from labs, Great Pyreneeses, mutts, and others in between! I have supported my hometown neighbors with caring for their animals, whether that’s by walking, feeding, bathing, administering medication - I’m comfortable with it all. Over the past 7 years I have been a mom to two cats and have helped friends and family care for their felines. I truly believe our pets are family to us and I treat all animals with all the love and care they deserve 🤍 I’m currently working part time, so I have flexibility in my schedule to help care for your furry friends! I currently reside in Northwest Indiana and work on the southside of Chicago on Thursdays and Fridays, but if you are needing my services I’m open to discussing how I can meet your scheduling needs 😊 I am not currently offering care for animals in my home due to my two year old cat who has not quite yet met other animals. However I am more capable of caring for your pets in the comfort of their own home.

About: In my 29 years of life, I’ve always had pets. I currently have eight cats of my own and help take care of my parents dog! I rescued ten of my cats throughout my life from living on the street as kittens and raised them from kitten formula to adult cat food. Full time I’m a house cleaner, so I’m surrounded by my client’s pets every single day. They are like my own and it’s the best part of my job. Due to my current unemployment, I am available seven days a week, any time of the day to care for your fur child(ren)! 🥰 please do let me know if your times are flexible. I am available to walk dogs, feed, and play with your pets. I’m even willing to scoop litter boxes and spend time with pets that may experience anxiety being alone all day.

About: While I do not have professional dog care experience, I was placed in charge of caring for my old boss's dogs (Black Lab and Great Dane), one of which I helped raise from a puppy. I have learned how to crate train, as well. I have also cared for family and friends' dogs, including overnight stays and administering medicines. I am primarily available in the early morning or late afternoon - evening. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays would be the best days to schedule with me! I make sure that my cats get enough attention, and have plenty of toys to occupy them. I am also working on crate training my cat so she'll stop clawing up our furniture. My cats are fed daily with occasional treats if they've been behaving. their litter boxes are cleaned daily, as well. When I care for a client's pets, I will take care of them in the way that their owner would care for them, but with a touch of how I would, as well.

“Rebeccah is fabulous! Our Charley dog loves her and I so much appreciate her friendly and professional manner. She has been very accommodating to schedules and is our go to Rover!”


About: I love animals! I’ve had pets all my life. We have always had dogs, my sister has a cat, and when I was younger I also had 2 rodents similar to chinchillas! I just moved back home and have full availability. I can work any day at anytime. I will really be able to provide your pets with my full attention! We walk my dogs every single night. I also feed them and play with them. I will be able to provide your animals with the same level of care that I provide for my own pets.


“Ken took extra care and time to get to know Cruz and myself during our initial meet and greet. He showed up well prepared and had more questions than I did and I appreciate how through he was. He sent me daily updates on his walks with Cruz and cleaned up any of the messes Cruz made while Ken walked him.”

“Figured out how to use the app finally! Really good experience! If you folks have read my profile, you know that my dog is a large, powerful, mixedbreed. Not for inexperienced handler/owners. Even though I'm an experienced dog person and have done much training with Mariusz, these breeds, because of their consitution, size, temperment, etc. can require a strong leader. Mariusz is powerfully built and he works out too. Literally. Katelynn was able to control him with no issue. Mariusz was a very happy dog after the walk. He had a lot of fun being with her. He had that dog smile on his face; he got out a lot of energy. We hope Katelynn can walk him again . Would def recommend her !”


About: I’ve always been around pets since I was little, whether it be dogs, cats, etc. I know how to care for them.

I have a lot of experience with oral medication and shots with my own pets, so If you need that as well it won’t be a problem. I’ve had to crate my dogs before so I could do the same with yours if needed. I like to walk my dogs a lot and be very active with them, so if that’s what you need then i’m your guy.

About: I've had cats and dogs in my home since I was 6. In addition to my own pets, friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets over night when they've been away. My job allows me to work flexible hours so I can go the extra mile to make sure your pet gets the treatment they deserve. In my clients home, I prioritize following all detailed instruction so that your pet's specific needs are met. Having the owner be away can be stressful for them so I do my best to make it as comfortable for them as possible.

“Theda is GREAT!!! She came over to meet my pups before we set up her services, both dogs took to her right away! Theda comes 3 days a week and I have noticed a big difference in there demeanor when I come home from a 12 plus hour day. I recommend her to any of my friends and family for all their fur baby needs!!!”


About: I’m a Certified Professional Dog Trainer who has been working with pet dogs, shelter dogs and fosters for 6 years now. I’ve loved dogs since I was little and fell into a career working with behaviorally challenged dogs in a shelter and started my own private training business in July of 2021. I’m a self employed Dog Trainer who is also a stay at home mom currently with my twin 12 year old boys and my 3 year old daughter. We have three dogs that we play with and care for daily, as well as train and provide enrichment. Pet care is a natural part of our everyday life. I have a fenced in yard but we’re also capable of going for walks. I have an extra crate and am more than happy to work on crate training while your pup is here. We’re a very active family who loves being outside. Your pup would have plenty of options for friends with the kids, the 2 dogs we have and the cat who thinks he’s a dog!

“Marissa is very reliable and so easy to communicate with! She took both of our dogs on walks while we were out of town & sent us pictures of our babies. We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future!”

“Thomas is a very kind man who came to do a meet and greet with me and my dog ( and my daughter's dog who stays with me frequently) on short notice. Both dogs took to him right away, went up to greet him and felt comfortable with him. He is reliable, on time and fills their water bowl for them when he comes. He has helped me onshore notice twice now and ai feel comfortable with him coming to my hose and taking good care of my dogs. Definitely would highly recommend him!!”
